Copic Multiliner

What materials are safe to use with Copic markers?

Christmas is coming up, and I'm looking for some new drawing tools. But with a tight budget, I want to give my parents a break and pick something good the first time.
Last year I bought Copic coloring markers and Copic Multiliner inking pens; the paper I used was called My Sketch and was advertised as Copic safe.
I wasn't very impressed with the inking pens or paper; it was tough to erase my pencil marks, and even when erasing lightly, the pen would fade dramatically.
Also, some of the pen tips bent or broke while using them.
I searched around and found that alot of professionals used Bristol paper, although I couldn't get a hold on what pens.

Most comic artists use a copy paper/ bristol board combination, drawing at first with mechanical pencil on the copy paper and then transferring that finished pencil layout to Bristol by scanner/ printer.

Any paper with a flat almost smooth smooth surface , to which your hand does not stick will usually minimize bleeding ink.

They ink on the Bristol copy with brushes and crow quills, which have varying sizes and replaceable tips, what tip thickness you use is up to you, or whatever suits the line quality you are going for. As for ink, I personally use Higgins waterproof ink (black) with the brushes and quills and ink the outline after letting any coloring work dry.

Copic Markers are heavy things they are made for dense patches of color and have intense bleed in my experience, but making any tool versatile, and gaining control over it is really just a matter of practice.

A lot of comics are colored by computer and printed by machine so this is all done in a digital workspace after the basic black outlines have been laid on by brush or quill.

a note. What tools you use are up to you. it's about comfort , and being able to use them confidently. go on down to the art store and play around with stuff!

Using Cheap Promotional Pens Effectively

The promotional pen is one of the most affordable promotional items used in today's business world. It seems that every company no matter its size has a personalized pen collection to hand to customers, clients and contacts. If you are interested in utilizing this promotional option, but do not have a lot of cash in hand, consider investing in cheap promotional pens.

Cheap promotional pens are typically made from plastic. They carry the company's name, contact information and slogan printed on the shaft of the pen. They come in a wide range of styles and colors, so you can easily choose one that fits your company's look and clientele. They can be either pens with caps or retractable pens. These pens are not refillable, but they provide a useful way to push your brand into a client's mind for a short period of time.

When you head to a convention, fair or trade show, make sure you have a large stash of cheap promotional pens in your supplies. You can set these on your table for passers by to take. When people stop at your booth to snag a free pen, you have the opportunity to engage them in conversation about your company and what it offers. Without the colorful pens on the table, some potential contacts would walk right by your booth. Even if the contact does not turn into a client, he will take your pen, and others will be introduced to your company when he uses it.

You can also use these pens with your current customers. If you have a counter where you regularly service customers in your business, place a cup of pens on it. Allow the customers to use the pens to sign receipts or write checks. If they take the pen with them, you have earned the opportunity to advertise through them again, and you have also saved yourself the hassle of searching high and low for a pen while the customer waits needlessly.

Remember, cheap promotional pens provide a cost-effective way to promote your business. You provide your customers with something valuable that they can get regular use out of, and they in turn are exposed to your brand on a daily basis when they use your pen.

Rapidograph Pen

Print Preparation : Prepress - Planning And Design

Prepress activities include a wide variety of procedures within the print production process. Prepress procedures begin with the design of a project and conclude with platemaking. Over the years, each of prepress steps have undergone many changes in the way that they are accomplished.

Before desktop publishing, ideas were sketched on paper, thumbnails were created, and copy was handwritten. The typesetters would set the copy and output galleys of type for the proofreaders to check. After the corrections were made, copy was output with phototypesetters on resin coated (RC) paper. The columns of type were trimmed out, and using an adhesive, either wax, spray mount, or rubber cement, the strips were keylined onto layout boards (mechanicals) by page layout artists (or keyliners). Photo placement was either drawn in with a Rapidograph pen or Rubylith was placed in the position of the photo. Artwork, such as logos, were shot on a camera to create a stat that could be placed on the keyline. Color breaks were made using markers on tissue overlays. The keylines and photos were then shot on a process camera with film, using colored filters and contact halftone screens. The film was then sent to the stripping department, where it was stripped onto a flat, sometimes using imposition. The flat was then used to produce a plate that was placed on a press for printing the job. All of the prepress steps were time consuming and involved several people to complete the work.

Times have changed. Today, a print project is usually designed on a computer and typeset in a page layout program. Color or black and white images are created on a computer using various software programs unless a scanner is used to convert a photograph or artwork into a digital image, which can then be stored on a computer. The images stored on a computer are known as digital bitmap images, and can be color corrected or manipulated in any way. When an image is first being corrected or modified, it is viewed on a calibrated monitor. Viewing an image on a monitor is the first process of proofing and is called soft proofing, or monitor proofing. When the designer is pleased with the image, it is output to film and a scatter proof is made. The scatter proof is then checked for correct color densities in a viewing booth. The layout file (called a LW file meaning linework) and the photos (CT's or Continuous Tones) are merged in the assembling process. From there, the file is sent to a RIP (Raster Image Processor) which translates the digital information into four halftone color separations (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). The information is sent to either a digital proofer or to an imagesetter for film to be output in order to create an analog proof. After the proof has been approved, the film can then be stripped into flats that are used to generate the plates. In a direct-to-plate workflow, film is eliminated and the digital file is sent from the RIP directly to a platesetter. And, if a digital press is to be used for printing the job, the file can be sent directly to the press, eliminating the need for a plate.

How long can you leave ink in a Rapidograph pen before you need to clean it?

Just curious how long you can leave ink in these pens before you risk having the ink start to gunk up inside the pen. If you keep the cap on the pen when not in use, how long can you leave it with the ink in it?

I have found that some inks are better than others, but a couple of days to a week was all I ever "got " out of my inks. To be safe, clean it out if you waited a week for the next use. You must have clean lines, after all.

Ed Hardy's High Art Tattoos and his Business

Ed Hardy's High Art Tattoos and his Business
By : Ed Hardy Clothing

40 years back, Don Ed Hardy blew off a Yale fine-art fellowship to chase the rogue art of tattoo, a undying and regularly taboo convention that captivated him as a boy in the Orange County beach town of Corona del Mar. By ten he was drawing cars and eagles on kids' backs and arms with wet colored pencils and Maybelline eyeliner.
At the San Francisco Art Institute in the early '60s, Hardy mastered the demanding art of intaglio etching under the tutelage of the late Gordon Cook, a no-jive blue-collar guy who instilled in Hardy a love of craft, Asian art and the quiet power of Giorgio Morandi's little still life pictures. Cook wasn't happy when his gifted protege jumped into the socially murky waters of tattoo. But it worked out well for the brave Hardy boy, who blurred the supposed boundary between'high'' and'low'' art and carved a trail thru the worlds of art and commerce. He has drawn photographs on torsos, canvases and giant scrolls with equal conviction and coolness.

A tattoo trailblazer and historian who expanded the palette and pictorial possibilities of custom-made body art, Hardy, who will talk about his far-ranging work at a free slide-show lecture at Mills College on Wed., is also a fertile lithographer, painter and etcher. His blazing pictures of devils, dragons, whiskered women and Buddhas -- informed by old master etchings, 12th century japanese'hell'' scrolls and 19th century woodblock prints, Southern California hot-rod striping and the funk and humor of Bay Area art -- are widely exhibited and collected. And for the past year or thereabouts, his early tattoo photographs, the'retro'' skulls, sailor girls and derby-topped dragons now in style, have shown up on T-shirts, jackets, motorcycles and even energy drinks sold worldwide under the Ed Hardy brand.

There are now Ed Hardy stores in NY, Los Angeles, Tucson and Dubai. That $20 million-a-year business, of which Hardy gets a small slice for licensing his name and art, is the efforts of French-born marketing ace Christian Audigier, who pushed the Von Dutch brand and now has everybody from Madonna to Larry King draped in Hardy. It's a pleasing turn of events for an artist who made his bones tattooing daggered hearts and anchors on sailors in San Diego in the raffish old days before body art became respectable. Now it virtually seems like there's a Starbucks and a tattoo parlor on every corner.

'Why do people get tattoos? I'm not sure. I believe it's a utterly primal urge,'' says Hardy, 61. He is's lost track of how many he is's had put on his body since he got his first tattoo, a rose on the left shoulder, at Frisco Bob's in Oakland four decades gone. 'It's one of those mysterious things. Based totally on the evidence, the frozen mummies, the oldest members of our species had tattoos. I think it predated cave painting.''

An obsessive picturemaker since the age of three, Hardy now divides his time between San Francisco, where his Tattoo city shop in North Beach is going strong, and Honolulu, where he paints and makes prints. He also spends time in Japan, where his photographs are being hand-painted on factory-produced porcelain and paper goods and where he's going to create a giant dragon -- king of the Asian legendary creatures -- on the ceiling of an old Buddhist church in Kyoto.

'I got it all goin','' announces Hardy, a modest, forthright and amusing man who in 1973 became the first Western tattooer to study under a traditional japanese master, the unusual Horihide, in Gifu town, where Hardy pierced and painted the skins of a number of the Japanese gangsters known as yakuza. Dressed in a green checked shirt, khakis and a pair of laceless mint-green sneakers carrying the Ed Hardy signature and his view on Tex Avery's 1940s slobbering wolf, Hardy recalled his colorful history yesterday at Tattoo city.

He helped transform the medium, creating elaborately designed and coloured customised tattoos that frequently took weeks. He inspired young tattooers from Australia to Europe, lots of whom came to San Francisco to get a Hardy in their skin.

'That liberated me up,'' Hardy says,'because the majority of my art had been either etching or tattooing -- extremely tight, picky kind of stuff. I was always inquisitive about a freer kind of painting.'' He recommends young artists to free themselves from'some careerist agenda, and do art that truly means something to you personally.''

Markers? Comic/ Graphic/ Tattoo Flash Art?

I Need a good set of markers for some comic style art. I'm not making a comic but I do use black ink outlines in my art and it has that comicbook feel to it. I liketo work with tattoo flash as well. What I need is a good thin outline marker. (The fine point sharpies are too fat for my taste) and some good artists markers for color (right now Im only using colored pencils).

Prisma color! deco color is awesome too,.
